Since I can't predict when temps will spike, the only time I could be sure
of would be September. I don't own a weed eater ayway. This is in the law

Well, I decided to to what I was trying to avoid - a big load of laundry.
I covered everything I could with sheets. If I lose somethning I left
uncovered, C'est la vie.
I gotta get it done.
